public interface Classifier
extends Namespace

A classifier is an element that describes structural and behavioral features; it comes in several specific forms, including class, data type, interface, component, and others that are defined in other metamodel packages. Classifier is often used as a type. In the metamodel, a Classifier may declare a collection of Features, such as Attributes, Operations and Methods. It has a name, which is unique in the Namespace enclosing the Classifier. Classifier is an abstract metaclass. Classifier is a child of Namespace. As a Namespace, a Classifier may declare other Classifiers nested in its scope. Nested Classifiers may be accessed by other Classifiers only if the nested Classifiers have adequate visibility. There are no data value or state consequences of nested Classifiers, i.e., it is not an aggregation or composition.
